title: [The sign of the fibular head. An indication of torsion?].
abstract: The head of the fibula is posteriorly located on a lateral view of the knee. This location varies according to the rotation of the limb when the knee is positioned for the radiograph. Our study shows that the location of fibular head is an indirect sign of torsion disorder of the inferior limb.
